Rostecs High Precision Systems receives positive feedback

The Dzhigit support launcher and the Gibka-S man-portable air defence system stand out as the only two weapon systems globally capable of launching two MANPADS (Man-Portable Air Defense Systems) missiles in a single salvo, boasting an impressive 99 percent probability of successfully hitting the target, as stated by the manufacturer.

This advanced Dzhigit system is engineered to fire two Igla or Verba MANPADS missiles utilizing the efficient "shot-forget" principle. Operators have the flexibility to deploy the missiles in a simultaneous salvo or sequentially, depending on tactical requirements, using either automatic or manual modes. The support launcher is designed with 360-degree azimuth coverage and elevation guidance that spans from -15 degrees to +60 degrees, ensuring comprehensive targeting capabilities.

The Dzhigit significantly alleviates the physical burden on anti-aircraft gunners, eliminating the necessity to shoulder the equipment, which can often be cumbersome and tiring. Furthermore, it is equipped with a protective awning that effectively minimizes heat exposure from direct sunlight during operational hours, thereby enhancing the comfort and efficiency of the operator.

In terms of versatility, the Dzhigit can operate in standby mode, ready to be deployed at a moment's notice. It is designed to be mounted in the rear compartment of vehicles for rapid mobility and can be disassembled into three manageable components for transport by military personnel. The deployment process to a combat-ready position takes approximately three minutes, with a recharge time between firings of just two minutes. Equipped with night vision technology and various additional systems, the Dzhigit can function effectively at any time of day or night. It is capable of utilizing external target designations and can distinguish between friendly and enemy aircraft using sophisticated "friend or foe" recognition systems, ensuring enhanced operational accuracy and safety.
